Sale Of Pets In The UK
EDM number 1172 in 2015-16, proposed by Alan Meale on 01/03/2016.
Categorised under the topic of Animal welfare.
That this House is seriously concerned about the practice of animals being advertised as potential pets on UK websites, including on Gumtree, Preloved and others on which the advertisements include offers of free to good homes; believes such exploitation of animals is not in their best interests, nor is it acceptable practice in today's modern world; and calls on the Government to introduce measures to immediately halt such advertisements and further to find ways of setting minimum purchase pricing and welfare standards guidelines for all connected with the sale of pets in the UK.
This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
